Can Rishi Sunak survive until the general election?

If a Hollywood scriptwriter came up with the storyline, it would be instantly dismissed as too far-fetched.

Even House of Cards, the seminal tale of political intrigue at the heart of power - written by a Tory peer, incidentally - did not go this far.

Incredibly, there is a growing number within the Conservative Party who believe that installing the fourth prime minister of this parliament is a desirable state of affairs.

If you’re planning on going on a summer break abroad this year, Martin Lewis’s team have issued a warning for you. 

If you have children in school, chances are you’ve entered the homework battle more than once. The to-and-fro, the bargaining, the begging, the trying to figure out maths equations that remind you how long ago your own school days were. It can feel like an uphill battle and for some time now, parents have argued that it isn’t essential for learning.

TikTokers say that ibuprofen can delay your period and even stop it from arriving. But is this legit?

TikTok influencers love to claim they’ve found an at-home skin care treatment that’s better than Botox in terms of erasing lines and wrinkles. It’s tempting to buy into these “miracle” treatments because Botox is expensive and invasive. Plus, it’s an attractive option for anyone who doesn’t want to inject a neurotoxin into their face.

There are smoke-free alternatives such as nicotine pouches, gum and patches but according to nicotine retailing expert, Markus Lindblad from Haypp, incorporating certain foods and drinks to your diet can also help you quit smoking, too.

They’re not what you’d think, either. Читать дальше...

Ideal for these chilly days, bread and butter pudding is the ultimate comfort food and, for a lot of us, brings with it nostalgia for childhood days in the school canteen or even just our grandparent’s kitchen.

Tom Holland and Tom Hollander

Tom Hollander recently revealed that a mix-up involving his almost-namesake Tom Holland led to him receiving the Marvel star’s mahoosive bonus pay slip by mistake – but it sounds like this sort of thing happens more than you might think.
